Bulgaria 25 leva Endangered Wildlife Bear Cubs PR65 PCGS silver coin 1989

The Bulgaria 25 Leva 1989 silver coin from the Endangered Wildlife series is a moving numismatic homage to the protection of vulnerable animal species. Issed by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria, this commemorative piece highlights the theme of wildlife conservation through a tender yet powerful depiction of a bear mother with her cubs, symbolizing care, strength, and the continuity of life in Bulgaria’s forests.

The reverse presents a finely engraved scene of a large bear standing protectively with cubs nestled close beside her. The detailed rendering of fur, expressive posture, and carefully modeled forest elements such as grasses, shrubs, and tree branches create a vivid natural setting. Along the rim runs the Cyrillic inscription “Застрашени диви животни,” clearly emphasizing the endangered wildlife theme and reinforcing the coin’s environmental message.

The obverse features the national emblem of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria: a heraldic lion positioned within a wreath of wheat ears, crowned by a star. Below the emblem is a ribbon inscribed with the historic dates “681–1944.” The surrounding legend reads “Народна Република България,” accompanied by the denomination “25 лева” and the year of issue, 1989.

Struck in silver with Proof quality, this coin is certified by PCGS as PR65 DCAM, offering strong cameo contrast and crisp detail. As part of Bulgaria’s late-20th-century wildlife conservation program, it represents an appealing choice for collectors of fauna, nature-themed, and certified world coins.
